I love how everyone in this thread is either the biggest bad ass to ever walk the Earth, an owner of a successful Fortune 500 company, or a really bad comedian.

'You still work at K-Mart?" would have been fine.

I would have reported her to the manager. There's no need for that, especially is she embarrassed you.

These kinds of stories have never happened when I've bought any action figures. They're either just polite and just ask if i have or want a bonus card/gift wrap/batteries etc. or on the other end, tired/bored high school or college kids that barely make eye contact. If they started up with me like that, i wouldn't be able to help unloading some mean comeback jokes.
Don't let her get to you. If you see her again in there, take the oppurtunity to find some way to fire back at her.

Maybe she wanted to organise a play date with you But seriously, next time use CM Punk's methods of dealing with confrontation:- "You're stupid and ugly and have no friends"

I would have LOST MY MIND and cursed that **** out. Funny K-Mart story (not figure related). A few years ago i bought some plastic tubs from K-mart and i had to return 2 cause i didnt need them. so i put them on the counter and the woman at the returns desk rolls her eyes and asked me with an attitude why i was returning them and i answered with Cause the bodies didnt fit. It just made my day saying that cause she got annoyed that i had to make her do some work

I've always had the line in the back of my head if somebody ever says that to say, "No, it's for my little cousin who's in the hospital" or something like that. Then they feel like crapinstead of you, lol.

Some of the responses are awesome and I only read 2 pages. I don't know what I would do. Most of the times they are decent while sometimes they are great [actually know the wrestlers or are bad and kinda make you uncomfortable]. I think she should be reported though. That would teach her to stop being an arrogant bitch.

Tell them you have a son & it's for him He shouldn't have to lie because of an ignorant comment like that. I would have been like it's none of your business, but I have a right mind to report your ass for making that kind of remark. That would've shut her ass up.

An acapella version of this usually does the trick.. "I don't want to grow up, I'm a Toys' R Us kid, there's a million toys at Toys 'R Us that I can play with! More bikes, more trains, more video games, it's the biggest toy store there is! I don't want to grow, because then if I did, I wouldn't be a Toys 'R Us kid!" Or, just tell them to go themselves! This... I lol'ed

Bahahahahaha! Not even laughing at the original story, but rather people claiming "Things would get ugly, if someone said that to me." or "I'd have said this..." Man, some of you people on these forums are real tough guys. - Triple S I love how everyone in this thread is either the biggest bad ass to ever walk the Earth, an owner of a successful Fortune 500 company, or a really bad comedian. I know this is just insane to think, but it actually IS possible to be witty, clever, bold, have a pair of nuts and the will to stick up for yourself OFFLINE too.

You should of said "and you still work here?"
all seriousness, I panic when going to get a figure cuz I hate that so much. also while I was in high school I was hoping not to see anyone I know because I know they'd be judgmental about it.
It really sucks because people look down at us like we are 40 year old virgins (little do they know that none of this effects our intimate life ;D)

I actually ran into some of my old HS friends two nights ago while I was hold a Jericho/Steamboat two-pack in like the music department.
They kept staring at it under my arm while we were BSing so I just held it up and said "Yeah that's right, I buy toys, I keep sh*t real, son." and we all got a good laugh out of it.
And yesterday I was checking out with Hurricane, and the cashier marked out. "Oh no way! Is this a new figure? When did he come back!?" ;D

To make a long story short I drive to my local K-mart to buy Elite Christian. As I proceed to checkout the girl at the cash register who is around my age (20ish) looks at my purchase as she rings it up and in jerk fashion asked "You still play with toys?" When she said that my heart almost sank. There were two other people behind me and started laughing after she said that. I got so embarassed I started to sweat like a pig. I kindly ignored her remark and paid for my item and left. I've never been so humiliated at a retail store and I work in retail. I don't go up to customers and make remarks when they buy rat traps or mr. plumber(btw I work at Lowe's). Anyone else receive rude service when buying figures? Seriously man, if this chick was rude to you, asking about your hobby and being indifferent to it, you don't need to do anything except think "What a shame, this girl has such a negative attitude on life" and pity her. She doesn't even know you, she probably hates life, and was taking her BS out on you. Ignore her, keep doin' what you do, and look back and be like "Damn, sucks to be you" as she continues to snarl like an angry pitbull...she prolly caught the hiv with her cousin ("hey baby you're only an in-law, we're good") and decided to snap at the first cool thing she saw - action figure goodness.

I don't think KMART is a crappy store, remember when they were the first to get the new Mattel stuff? They have great figures, just because one person is their is mean doesn't mean the whole store sucks. I guess that depends on where you live. Around here I know of 5 KMarts none of which are really close (closest 45 mins away) and they are always dirty looking. Most people around here will go to the many Target/WalMarts/Malls before they'd step foot in a KMart. Yet I know other areas of the country KMart is all people have. Both the K-Marts here are dirty, filthy places with very ugly people working.

Only one thing happened similar to this. Some friends came over and I left my Christy Hemme in the box on the side. One picked it up and said "The internet is for p*rn!" I just replied "I can't help myself!" ;D
